John Devine, ChippenhamAbout time, bloody Thatcher.
Ken Phillips, ChorleyEnd the madness of rail privatisation now.
Mike Yorke, MorpethThe rail infrastructure of this country should never have been allowed to fall into private hands.
Jon Shaw, LondonPrivatisation is not working. There is only one answer.
Aron BuchneaBR was the best railway in the world and as a rail fan I want it back.
Pat Gordon, HerefordBritish Rail, along with all the major utilities, should be re-nationalised and run by the people for the people.
Sean Michael Fitzpatrick, RotherhamGive the amenities back to the people.
Rohan Badiger, PeterboroughThis issue personally affects me as one of the disgruntled rail passengers. Countless cancellations and unnecessary ‘competition’ for public services is wrong.
Ann Cohen, EdinburghThe recent East Coast experience has shown that the state could successfully take over all lines again
Carole Hope, BromleyTh current situation is a mess. Something which should be as straightforward as planning journeys and buying tickets can be a nightmare.
Freya Pearson, BristolWe can’t carry on like this.
Samuel Cook, LeedsFares are too big. Bring back British Rail.
Derek Lowe, KnaresboroughEast Coast line is encouraging if it could be reproduced throughout the network.
Heather Maggs, BedfordEvery privatisation of national assets in this country has been an unmitigated disaster for British consumers and taxpayers. We need new, sustainable ways of thinking.
Tom Conway, WiganWe’re passengers, not customers.
Tim Gunnery, CongletonA publicly owned railway is cheaper to run for the taxpayers than the private franchises. Incorporating the freight companies into Network Rail will benefit even more.
Paul Baker, HolyheadTrains are a means to cutting CO2 emissions and they need to be more supportive. There is a lack of investment especially in Wales.
Roland Scales, WatfordRailtrack/Network Rail was one of the worst ideas in living memory (not on a par with Iraq, but still pretty dire.)
Henry Anderson, PerthBritish Rail was flawed but needed restructuring not privatising.
John Hamilton, EdinburghEssential core infrastructure and services should belong to, and run for, the public – not for profiteering.
Morag Cumming, NottinghamWe need an efficient and cost-effective railway network to get Britain working again. It must not be run solely for profit, but for everyone who needs to use the railway.
Erron Francesco, BirminghamLove to see BR back.
David Jaggs, BillingtonI’m wholeheartedly behind this campaign.
Steve Wayne, LondonMost expensive railways in Europe.
Derek Jones, TyldesleyThe so called privatisation is costing the tax payer more than the nationalised railway ever did with duplication of jobs. Surely it’s time to stop this nonsense?
Ethan Humble, WhitbyBring Back BR.
Neil Walkling, BournemouthGive British Rail back to the railwaymen who know the job, not to a load of greedy shareholders who care only about their bank balances.
Roy Key, Stockton-on-TeesPrivate companies are out of control. We need to be brought back under public ownership.
Alexander Chopra, LondonBritish Rail was the world’s second most efficient railway until the horrific mistake of privatising it was made. Now we have to suffer high priced shambles..
James Abbott, WithamA railway owned by the public and run for the public – that is what we want.
